Collusion, Red Wine, Columbia Valley, WA 2016

Josh Phelps; entrepreneur,
innovator, vintner, winemaker, and dear friend of ours has done it again with
the release of the second wine from his newly launched line Grounded Wine
Co. Just a couple of months ago we were
the very first to release his highly anticipated Napa Red Blend, Steady State and to our great pleasure,
our ACME clients listened. With Phelp's
established history in the wine industry, it is needless to say that this new
project grounded in heritage has
already succeeded in creating wines that suggest a sense of place along with
evoking reflections of his grassroots, history-steeped upbringing in western
winemaking.

With
this newly released wine, Collusion,
Phelps's tips his hat to the rich history of the west during prohibition, lauding
the assiduous wineries who kept the industry alive by any daring means when the
U.S. banned the production, sale, or transportation of alcoholic beverages in
1919. With an effort to make the very best
wine possible for the friendliest price possible, Josh trekked up to Washington
State to make this incredibly drinkable, ridiculously good new red blend.

"When I was young we had
a lot of Bordeaux (and Napa Cabernet of course) on the dinner table. I have
always been drawn to the elegance of Bordeaux and I found this same softness in
the wines of Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills. I believe that for the money,
Columbia Valley is producing some insane wines. My goal was to make an
approachable yet serious table wine at an affordable price and I think the 2016
Collusion hits all the right marks." ~Josh

43%
Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec, & 4% Syrah. Garnet red in color, the 2016 Collusion opens
with warm, sweet and inviting scents of blackberry jam, raspberry, forest
floor, vanilla and cedar. Broad on the
palate, this has mingling flavors of fresh, ripe black cherry, restrained oak,
vanilla and clove continuing well into the long finish. The luxurious mouthfeel with soft, round tannins and a lively finish
makes for one of the most insanely delicious bottles of wine we've had under
$30!
